Additionally, Nancy Mulkey was named as an alternate and will train with the team during training camp.

The team was announced after four days of trials at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The trials featured 124 players. While 10 of the 12 team members were invited to trials by the USA Basketball Women's Developmental national team committee, Ionescu and Murray attended trials as applicant athletes.

"The decision was a difficult one, given the quality of players, but the committee feels confident that this team will represent the USA and perform at a very high level," said Carol Callan, USA Basketball Women's national team director.
